Jude This book was written by a man named Jude which is a twisted English form of the name Judas, or Judah. He mentions in the first verse that he is the brother of James. Since James was the half-brother of Yeshua, this means Jude was also a half-brother of Yeshua. Matt. 13:55 “Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? Gal 1:19 But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. There are two other men in Scripture by the name of Judas who were disciples of Yeshua. Of course, the famous (or infamous) one is Judas Iscariot. It is likely that Judas Iscariot is the reason this man was tagged with the name "Jude" in English translations. This book was written about 66-70 AD. We don't know who Jude was writing to, but we do know it was to a group of believers somewhere. There was not a postmark on the envelope. Jude makes some very interesting comments that are found nowhere else in Scripture. He talks about the Archangel Michael fighting with Satan over the body of Moses. He also gives the prophecy of Enoch that was apparently made even before the time of the Great Flood. For these two examples he quotes from two books from the pseudepigrapha called The Assumption of Moses and The Book of Enoch. It does bring in the possibility of those writings being inspired by the Spirit. The problem is that we do not know if the forms of those writings we see today are entirely the same writings as those used by Jude. The theme of the book is assurance in days of apostasy. It appears that Jude wanted to write about how wonderful and peachy keen we all are in having this neat Messiah and in studying, but there were problems that needed to be dealt with. Jude describes some terrible and frightful conditions that were occurring and were to come in the future. The different letters of Paul were written to deal with the various problems that various assemblies were having due to the various cultures, influences, and assorted troublemakers. This letter from Jude was written for the same reason. There were problems in an assembly and they had to be dealt with. It is a message that still rings true in assemblies today.

    Jude 1 – Why do people think Yeshua went to hell? 2023

    Jude 1:6 And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. This is an interesting verse. The "angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode... " pertains to the "sons of Elohim" in Genesis 6:1-6 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, 2that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 1 Peter 3:18-20 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; 19in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 20who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. This is a very difficult passage that has been classically misinterpreted for centuries. Some say that when Jesus died, He descended into hell and did an end zone dance in front of those lost souls that are suffering in hell. That took three days. Then He resurrected. Other say that the demonic beings during the days of Noah are being held in the "demon-dungeon" and after Jesus died, he did an end zone in front of those demons in chains. That took three days. Then he resurrected. Neither opinion is even close to being correct. Peter is speaking of the evil of men in the days of Noah in the time of Noah who are now dead and buried deep into the earth because of the flood. Gen. 6:1-3 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, 2that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” Peter speaks of how the Spirit made a proclamation, which we see in Gen. 6:3 Showing alternative meanings to a couple words in this passage makes it abundantly clear that he is speaking of those in the disobedient world that perished in the flood.
